Eliminate stains in the bathroom

Problem: Accidents can happen pretty easily when you dye or bleach your hair in the bathroom. Hair dye and bleach often contain chemical substances such as hydrogen peroxide. These can eat into coated surfaces on bathroom furniture or plastics such as the toilet lid, resulting in unattractive brown stains which normally cannot be removed.

Solution: Act as fast as you can. When you are dyeing or bleaching your hair, make sure you always have a damp cloth or sponge on hand just in case. Remove and clean the stains completely, otherwise you won’t be able to get rid of them later.

Problem: Nail polish and nail polish remover contain solvents, such as pure acetone. Among other things, acetone attacks plastics and coated surfaces in the bathroom. In a worst-case scenario, this kind of make-up stain can result in the surfaces blistering.

Solution: If a bottle of nail polish or nail polish remover leaks or the liquid somehow gets onto plastic surfaces, there is only one thing to do: you must react quickly and not let it dry. Use a soft, dry cloth and carefully dab the nail polish stain. Do not rub as this would spread the nail polish.

Problem: Toilet cleaning agents and toilet tabs can cause yellow or blue stains on the toilet lid and seat. And the stains are virtually impossible to get rid of once they are there. An irritating problem in your bathroom.

Solution: Only use toilet cleaning agents and tabs in the toilet bowl, and avoid contact with other surfaces in the bathroom. If they do get onto plastic parts of the toilet, always wash the traces away quickly with a damp, absorbent cloth or sponge to prevent stains from forming in the first place.
